Down at the unemployment agency, all I get's talk

Out of work

I need a job, I'm out of work

I go to pick my girl up, Her name is Linda Brown
D Bm A
Her dad invites me in, He tells me to sit down

But then he drops a bomb "Son, what do you do?"

Hey, Mr. President, I know you got good plans
D Bm A
You're doin' all you can now, to help the little man
D Bm
We got to do our best to whip that inflation down

These tough times, they're enough to make a man lose his mind
D Bm A
Up there you got a job but down here below
[Chorus]
